It is important what code is returned. If it is 106 it is duplicate of issue #48633. If it is 104 it is duplicate of issue #26965. Please see these issue for details and let me know if it is one of those 2 cases or if it is different problem. Thanks. Marek - I checked the install processs, and it is returning code 104, so I checked with item 26965 as you suggested. My Java install is a combination of Java 1.4.1_02, and JWSDP 1.2. The later included several endorsed libraries, including a SAX.jar file. I removed these from the system classpath, Logged off of windows and retried the install, but it still failed. I then removed the whole classpath statem, and also rebooted the PC. It still failed. I then removed everything that I could find that smacked of JWSDP from the environment variables, including all of the varibles used to establish the Classpath (JAXP_HOME, etc.), and also items from the path statement, including the Jakarta/ANT links. I then rebooted the machine, and the install still failed with a 104 code. Anything else you can suggest? Is the Java 1.4.1_02 release a good one? Thanks in advance. Jerry You can try to install latest JDK 1.4.2_06 or JDK 1.5.0_01 and then point installer to use it by command line option -is:javahome <path to JDK>. Or you can use zip distribution. (NB installer only adds link to desktop and item to Programs menu. If you wish you can do it manually.) *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 26965 *** NB installer also patches $NBINSTALLDIR/etc/netbeans.conf. IDE then runs on JDK selected during installation. This can be also done manually. Success! It was a bit round-about but this is what I did.... Since I couldn't get the 4.0 version to install, I went back and found the Archive, and downloaded the 3.6 version. I then installed it - it went in clean the first time. There was a message at the end of the installation that stated that while my 1.4.1_02 level of Java was OK, they recommended an upgrade to the 1.4.2 level of the SDK. So, I went to Java.Sun.Com, and downloaded it. I installed it according to the Sun directions, updated the environment stuff, and it checked out fine. For the fun of it, I went back and tried the netBeans 4.0 install. Low and Behold - it worked! Not sure what this all means, but I did finally get the product working. Thanks again for your assistance. Jerry |
